Sworn Commitment to Minimize Housing

“BBPDC has committed to building the minimum development necessary to cover the park's maintenance and operations needs. Accordingly, the plan analyzed in the FEIS and described in the GPP represents the maximum build-out that would occur as part of the Project. If, once requests for proposals are issued for the development components, it becomes clear that market conditions will allow for less development to support the park's needs, the development program will be reduced accordingly.”

– Brooklyn Bridge Park Defense Fund v. New York State Urban Development Corporation, 2006

Why are we sticking to a

decade old plan from the

Bloomberg and Pataki

administrations when Brooklyn

is being transformed by a

visionary, new mayor?
